How We’ve Thrived Without Vaccinations

The Covid era and the new MAHA movement has helped people realize how corrupt big pharma is and how at times our government doesn’t have the best interest of the people. We share our story of deciding against vaccines early on in our twenty-four year journey parenting nine children and what we did instead. While western medicine can be helpful when you truly need it, we have seen the fruit of growing in knowledge of how to treat things naturally. Angie Tolpin shares how she grew in knowledge, shares her favorite books on vaccines and natural health as well. Tips on how to build your team of health professionals you see eye to eye with and encouragement to advocate for your family without fear.  Be sure to subscribe to our channel, but also on your favorite podcast app too!

Should Parents Force Their Kids to Go to Church?

How you handle this will likely impact whether you have a multi-generational legacy of faith or not. If your children are resisting church, that's a vital indicator of either a problem with your church that needs to be fully discovered, or a heart issue in your child towards church and God. Isaac and Angie Tolpin give practical insights on what to do when your children show resistance to going to church. If you want your children to make being part of a church family a priority with their families in the future, they must see you making it a priority consistently in yours.  Be sure to subscribe to our channel, but also on your favorite podcast app too!

How Do Your Kids View Church?

Most Christian Parents would openly agree that they deeply hope that their kids grow up and want to be an active participant in the Body of Christ and looking even further into the future they hope their children raise their grandchildren in the Church. But how do you teach the importance of that to your kids? THe answer may seem obvious, you model it, of course; BUT when we look generation to generation simply going to church faithfully doesn’t necessarily cultivate a heart for God’s Bride! In today’s podcast you will be challenged and exhorted to evaluate how your heart posture is towards God’s Church, His people, and possibly even be inspired to be more intentional in having conversations that matter to instill the heart of God in your kids. If we truly change and obey the Lord and view His Church the way He does and we choose to practice the spiritual discipline of prayer for those leading and serving, our hearts will grow more and more in alignment with God’s vision and will –AND THAT CHANGES LEGACIES.  Be sure to subscribe to our channel, but also on your favorite podcast app too!

Navigating Peer & Family Influences

“How do I handle people influencing my children in the wrong ways?” This is one of the most asked questions we get. It’s part of why we believe it takes more courage to parent in these unprecedented times than the last few generations of parents. Get the four steps Isaac and Angie Tolpin lay out for doing this well.  We want to evangelize, we want to be lights for Christ, and we want great relationships, but none of that should be at the cost of negatively impacting our children. The sad truth is too many Christian parents are sacrificing their children's long-term well being. While it’s not the intention, it’s a pervasive problem. Perhaps we’ve been taught to avoid conflict at all costs, perhaps we are more of a people pleaser than we should be. Instead we should value training up our children in the way they should go, we should value sharing truth in a loving way that sharpen others and deepens relationships. Perhaps in the moments that matter, it’s more self-preserving to not do anything when influences aren’t ideal, than trying to love others and your children well by sharing concerns. Avoidance of conflict to stay comfortable and preserve relationships is often the source of why this happens. This is an encouraging episode backed by the bible with practical insights to help you navigate these difficult waters as the world is increasingly swaying so many that are likely around your family.

Win The Battle of Selfishness in Your Family

Do you want less selfishness in your family? Do you feel like its a constant battle you can’t win? Children need to be both taught the importance and the biblical call to be selfless, have examples of what that looks like, be held accountable and reminded of what God calls us to, but you know what is even more impactful for your children? Exercises the muscle of serving others, thinking of others more than themselves, literally doing and being the hands and feet of Jesus! It’s an incredible experience for every believer, regardless of your age or spiritual maturity and it’s when we walk in obedience to the Lord and serve others, our hearts change!  Selfishness is the most common sin of all humanity; and the world, the enemy, and our flesh cries out to BE selfish, to be self-absorbed and think about ourselves first. We have to learn to “die to self” as Jesus said! And… so do our children.  In today’s episode, Isaac and Angie share practical tips for cultivating a servant heart in your child as well as share some amazing experiences they have personally had in serving alongside their family as they plant a church. Serving together, as family, regardless of what, taking a meal to a new mama, mowing a lawn for a widow, cleaning the toilets at church, or leading a bible study, whatever you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord… and teach your kids the same by living it out!  For all show notes, scriptures, and resources mentioned go to courageousparenting.com.

Parenting Through the Election Chaos Ahead

Who’s going to win the presidential election? With three assassination attempts so far, mass illegal immigration and perhaps more devious moves ahead in an effort to move America away from its constitutional framework, we must be prepared for the possibility that the America we know could further erode to satisfy the global initiatives. So how do we parent through this? Who do our children see that our hope is in? What are sound actions steps to be taking now in our parenting? Isaac and Angie Tolpin answer these questions to help Christian parents be biblical strong examples in their actions; the balance between being activated citizens and standing for what’s right while also keeping our hope firmly in the Lord.

Warning: Why Your Kids May Not Want to Have Kids

We believe the huge problem Christians are talking about in the next 5-6 years is that their children don’t want to have children. The Tolpins give a clear and sound warning for intentional christian parents on why this epidemic may be around the corner and all parents should be sober-minded about it. It’s more than the stronger influence of culture towards not having children; the biggest problem they discuss are the things Christian parents may be doing in their home that unknowingly become catalysts for their children not wanting to have children down the road. For all show notes, scriptures, and resources mentioned go to courageousparenting.com.Companies we love who sponsor the show:Masterbooks https://www.masterbooks.com/courageousJoin the Masterbooks Giveaway and you might receive some of our favorite curriculumsCreating a Masterpiece creatingamasterpiece.com/courageousSamaritans Ministry https://samaritanministries.org/becourageousFOR MORE RESOURCES:becourageousministry.orgresoluteman.comcourageousmom.com CONNECT WITH THE MINISTRY AND THE TOLPINS-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Courageous Parenting:-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/courageous.parenting/-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/courageousparent/Angie Tolpin:-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/courageous.mom/-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CourageousMomIsaac Tolpin:-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resolute.man/-Twitter: https://twitter.com/IsaacTolpin-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheResoluteMan CONTACT----------------------------------------------------isaac@becourageousministry.org Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/courageous-parenting/donations

How To Pursue a Godly Marriage In a Fallen World

Here are some of the main points from this episode:No Marriage is Perfect! We just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and one thing that hit us that oftentimes what people share is not the full truth or even fully close to the reality of the journey one has been on for ____ amount of years in their marriage! We don’t want you to ever get the wrong impression that we think we have the perfect marriage, or that we would even portray that! We do have a thriving marriage, and for that we thank the LORD because it’s what He has done in each of our hearts that has brought us to this place! But the reality is that relationships, particularly marriage, can be hard, people sin against and offend one another, get selfish, annoy each other at times, and so much more. The reality is that two sinful humans enter into holy matrimony, which means there is a huge opportunity for hurt, sinning against one another, being selfish, being “real” with one another which can often times equate to “not trying anymore.” BUT, on the bright side that means there is equally an opportunity for each individual in the marriage to grow in grace, forgive, grow in understanding, love, serve, be more selfless, and ask for forgiveness and walk in humility acknowledging when they sin! God deeply wants to do a powerful work in you and in your marriage. AND He has chosen marriage as the best avenue for refinement in all the godly character qualities He wants you to grow in! Isn’t that exciting?

Keep Going When It’s Hard or Stop; The 3 Question Test

Planting a Church- Be Rooted in Biblical Community

Do you have strong biblical community? Do you know the people you go to church with? Do you or they notice when someone is not there and follow up? Is there authentic knowing of one another or do you only see each other on Sunday, maybe? You may think your church awesome! I hope you do! I hope this episode only spurs you on in more appreciate of what you already have! But when we ask people about what makes their church so special, the first thing most people will say, is the people. Is your church representative of the “Family of God” in your life? Have you ever even experienced it? What I am asking is not about how “good of a sermon” you heard on Sunday, although that is an essential element and one worthy of changing churches over. But anyone can listen to a great sermon now with everything online. The second greatest commandment Jesus left us with after “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. ” in Matthew 22:37-38 was v. 39, “ And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”Neighbor. Just think about that for a moment. Do you actually know your neighbors? People in your town? I am wondering if you have strong trusting relationships with others who live near you. People who will help when that time comes and who can trust you to help them. I hope you do! We know many amazing people in our community, but none of us fellowship together in Church! Isaac and Angie Tolpin talk about why they are planting a brick and mortar church in the center of their home town and some of the changes they are making to the modern church model to go beyond Sunday attendance to a culture of real connection. Get practical insights that are sure to make you reflect on church, community, and perhaps strengthen your intentionality with people locally.

How to Respond to Interrupting Biblically | Ginger Hubbard

Every parent has dealt with a child interrupting. Join Angie and Ginger as they talk about the heart issue behind interrupting, how it can be a temptation for parents to sin as well, how we need to watch our own hearts, and how important it is to teach our children to have a respect for all people. The importance of keeping communication lines open with our kids is a major goal of every parent, but how we respond to our children can greatly impact that line of communication. If a parent ignores their child while talking to another adult, it can speak that their opinions or needs are not as important as the conversation they are having. We don’t want to communicate that our children are being annoying, rude, and not worth listening to with our actions. It could be a root cause for children feeling as though the parent doesn’t value their thoughts and feelings. This is very foundational in our relationships with our children– fragile ground if you will. But at the same time, we don’t want to cultivate a selfish, self-centered heart in our child by always attending to our child’s every whim at the cost of minimizing the value of others. There is a balance of teaching how to respectfully notify the parent that they need something without interrupting and also taking a moment away from adult conversations at a time that is appropriate and respectful of the other person you were speaking with. Go to our website for the show notes, tips for correcting your children biblically, perspective shifts necessary for parents, and scripture references.

Using BRAVE Books to Equip Your Children on Hot Button Issues | Trent Talbot CEO, BRAVE Books

Christian parents are feeling more alone than ever as they navigate equipping their children in unprecedented times, but it doesn't have to be this way! There's a growing parallel economy of Christian conservative resources. At the forefront is BRAVE books! We went to their headquarters to discuss with their CEO and founder, Trent Talbot, what's behind one of the most compelling Christian children's book publishers helping parents today. It's an incredible story of Trent leaving the safety of his career to obey God in starting BRAVE books. His bravery is helping to shift culture with 36 books (so far) by conservative celebrity authors, a movement to fix the library system, and an upcoming TV show with Kirk Cameron that gives parents a better option. There's a power in using good stories to impact the next generation. It's vital for parents to proactively address the hot-button issues that are influencing children toward waywardness. The challenge is, that it's hard for parents to know how to communicate with their kids about these complex issues that are oftentimes hidden in the media they consume. Finally, a new children's book can arrive every month that your children will love; and the bonus is that it also helps you, the parent, to equip your children in sound thinking with a conservative and biblical perspective on the issues of today.

Who’s Spiritually Leading Your Family?

We all must ask this question and be willing to be honest about it. With about 80% of the children raised in Christian homes leaving the church by age 18, we must do things differently than most Christian parents. So who is spiritually leading your family? As parents, I hope we all would want to say “We are”, but the truth is most aren’t. Not with the intentionality and frequency the bible talks about in Deuteronomy 6:6-9. While a church's influence is good and needed, if that’s where they get most of their Spiritual nourishment, then parents are failing in this area. Isaac and Angie Tolpin dive into what the Bible says about gender roles in the family and the importance of both mom and dad having influence while respecting God’s plan for the family. They even go into what if your husband isn’t a Christian, and direction for single moms and dads too.
